Space design options
This type of design appeared not so long ago, but acquired, I beg your pardon for the involuntary pun, truly cosmic popularity. And this is completely no coincidence, since he has a lot of advantages.
- Each version of this manicure is unique and unrepeatable.
- It perfectly "mounts" with any dark substrate: burgundy, emerald or coniferous green, ultramarine, black, ink.
- It is good as a solo - on all ten fingers, and as an accent - on a pair of nails or even a stripe.
- Companions to the "galaxy" can be a monochromatic coating (the same color as the substrate, or contrasting), and "cat's eye", and rhinestones, and broths. It all depends on your imagination and the professionalism of the nail service master performing your manicure.

Among the disadvantages of this coverage, the fact that it is not suitable for those girls who are forced to comply with the dress code due to the work performed should be highlighted. "Space" design looks very bright in any of its designs, so in those organizations where the color of the varnish on the nails is strictly regulated, wearing it will not work. and also "galaxy" is unlikely to suit girls who prefer a strict classic style of dress. Still, such a manicure presupposes courage, originality and creativity in its owner.

To create this unique type of nail design, you need to figure out what the trick is to apply it and how to master it. There are a lot of photos of "galactic" manicure on the Internet, and each one is unique in its own way. After all, you can vary the application as you like: by choosing one or several colors as a substrate, acting with a sponge or sprinkling glitter on the nail plates (or using both methods), applying the design to all nails or emphasizing one or two fingers with it. Depending on all of the above, your unique design will be obtained.

There are a myriad of options for "galactic" manicure: on a black backing, ink blue or green; one-color or mixed of two-three-five shades; shiny, iridescent or matte; shrouded in hazy haze or glossy; dark or white; with and without stars - you choose. In creating a "space" manicure will help varnishes with shimmer, glitter, sparkles and foil. The use of chameleon varnishes, which change color when moving with your hands, depending on the angle of incidence of the light, will give greater depth to the manicure, and the top coat with glitters will make it more voluminous.

With the appropriate skills, you can "stretch" the galaxy on all five fingers, when the nails will look like a solid canvas. If you do not dare to place space on all nails, you can select one as an accent, and cover the rest of the nail plates with a monochromatic varnish: the color of the substrate or, on the contrary, contrasting.
Coating methods
Sponge
With the help of a sponge, you can create both an ombre effect (or, as it is called, a gradient), and a starry galaxy. For this, both separate pieces of a sponge are used, each painted with its own shade of varnish and applied to the nail alternately, as well as a solid sponge, on which, in fact, the entire "galaxy" is applied and transferred to the nail. The main requirement for a sponge: it must be dense, not loose and immaculately clean.

It is unacceptable to use a sponge with which a tonal foundation or other cosmetic products were previously applied to the face.
Glitter
With the help of glitter - small and large sparkles - the nails are given a shine. Glitter (as well as its smaller "brother" shimmer) can either be contained in varnish (or topcoat) or packaged separately in jars. Accordingly, it can be applied both with varnish and over it. The intensity of application depends solely on your desire: whether there will be a path of stars in your "space" or the entire galaxy will be covered with stardust, you decide.

Photo design
If for some reason you do not want or do not know how to paint with gel polishes, but really want to see a "space" design on your nails, there is a way out for you. The easiest way to create galactic nails is to use sliders, which are now sold in great variety in all professional cosmetics stores. They can be used on both regular polish and gel polish. There is only one technology: the slider needs to be wetted, then carefully separated from the paper backing and transferred to the nail plate. Further, if the nails are coated with gel polish, a top is applied to the slider, and the hands are dried in a lamp. If the manicure is done with ordinary varnish, cover the slider with a drying top and wait for natural drying.

Step-by-step nail art technique
Despite the seeming complexity and "sophistication" of space manicure, it is quite easy to do it at home, and you will need few materials. First of all, this is a gel polish that you will use as a substrate. Or a few varnishes. In addition, you will need a palette where varnishes will be mixed, a sponge or a piece of new unused sponge for the kitchen, glitter or a top coat with sparkles, individual rhinestones in the form of stars and tweezers for applying them. It is also good to have a supply of liquid latex to protect the skin near the nail plate from staining with gel polish.And, of course, you cannot do without a polymerization lamp - UV or LED.

The step-by-step implementation of galactic design takes place in several stages.
- Make a manicure in the usual way: hardware or trim. Apply a layer of base, level it and dry in a UV or LED lamp.
- Cover nails with a layer of gel polish chosen as a substrate for "space". Dry again in the lamp.
- Use tweezers to tear off as many small pieces of sponge as the number of varnishes selected for the "galaxy". Dip each piece in the appropriate varnish and remove excess.
- Apply varnish to the nail in turn, using the sponge pieces. Movement should be light and patting. You do not need to press the varnish into the nail or smear it. Do not strive to make the "correct" pattern, the "space" design is just the case when any of your movements will be correct.
- Once all the shades have been applied with the sponge, it's time to spice up your galaxy with a hazy haze. To do this, you need to take a straight brush and, mixing all the shades, draw a "whirlwind" on the nail. The brush must be clean, free from traces of previously used varnish.

- You can enhance the pattern with black or ink-blue varnish, or, conversely, highlight it with white. The main thing is that the manicure is done as accurately as possible, there are no greasy drops and smears, for this it is better to use thin and flat brushes.
- To imitate the stars, you can take rhinestones of the appropriate shape or use ordinary white varnish and dots, putting down neat dots.
- Use glitter if you want your galaxy to sparkle and sparkle. You can take individual glitters and sprinkle them, or use a varnish with shiny particles.
- When all the layers are applied, it's time to top them up, dry them and wear them with pride.
